Difficulty for the braking system @ Catalogna | Catalunya: HARD

It is considered a very technical track with abrupt braking which stress the brakes considerably.
The first brake after the finishing line at the end of a very long straight stretch where the motorcycles are involved in one of the most difficult cut off of the World Championship, must be pointed out in particular. The major criticalities for the braking system derive precisely because of the difficulty in cooling the brakes. The cut outs, all decisive and very close together, determine very high operating temperatures for the discs and brake pads which cannot cool sufficiently in the mixed part of the track.
